The plan is to replace the gas engine with an electric engine that weighs around 120 pounds and produces 30hp! This sounds great, but first we have to get the old motor out of there and that is a tricky process. Herby takes you through the whole process of pulling the motor, showing you what works and what didn't work so that when you pull your own engine, you can skip all the parts that didn't work and just do what worked!
